An indie game studio focused on creating culturally significant projects.

About

Macua Studios is an indie game studio founded by Gonzalo Alvarez and Genaro Vallejo Reyes. Our team developed Gonzalo’s first game Borders through a 7-day long game jam.

Inspired by Gonzalo’s parent’s immigration story of crossing the border, Borders soon received international attention from prestigious sources such as the Washington Post, Telemundo and NOW THIS leading up to its selection to display at various locations including Indiecade Showcase at E3 and Sheffield Doc/ Fest.

Now that we are on the map our vision is to begin creating culturally significant games and fill the void of diversity in gaming.
